MICHELIN Magic At Le Jardinier Miami

Le Jardinier in the Design District received a coveted MICHELIN star for its standout cuisine, and during Miami Spice, diners can find out why. It’s a swanky place to have a fancy brunch, lunch or dinner, and the high-design interiors and food presentations are meant to impress. Le Jardinier’s Miami Spice menus include summer-fresh, veggie-forward dishes like greens with grilled peaches, burrata with pistachios and local citrus, and desserts like a coconut-lime meringue and olive oil cake. Heartier entrees run the gamut from a housemade pasta to miso-glazed salmon or a bacon-wrapped Heritage pork loin. During Miami Spice, enjoy brunch on weekends, lunch daily and a $60 dinner menu every day except Monday.

Fiery Tableside Grilling At COTE Miami

Another MICHELIN-starred restaurant in the Design District, COTE Miami is a Miami Spice heavy hitter for a power lunch on weekdays. Renowned for its elevated Korean barbeque and rare cuts of meat, the steakhouse has a moody ambiance accentuated by tableside grilling. During Miami Spice, savor some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, like the crispy fried chicken in a sweet and tangy sauce, prime rib on a French baguette and sweet endings like COTE’s beloved soft-serve ice cream. For an extra $29 per person, dig into the the Butcher’s Lunch, a pared-down version of their Butcher’s Feast, which includes a 45-day dry-aged rib eye and several accompaniments.

Supper & Singing At Sparrow Italia
